The power of stories - with Jehan Casinder
Webinar - November 17, 2020 at 10:00am - 11am
About
2020 has been challenging for all of us. As we approach the year’s end, it’s a great time to reflect on our wellbeing.
In this exclusive webinar for ACE members, we’ll explore an unlikely contributor to wellbeing: storytelling.
Each of us has a story about who we are, where we’ve come from and where we might be going.
But how do our stories influence our mental health? And how can we tell more helpful, hopeful stories about our lives?
Jehan Casinader has wrestled with these questions. He’s one of New Zealand’s top TV journalists. He is also a survivor of depression. Jehan will share his story and offer practical tools to help you reshape your own.
He'll be joined by a panel including AECOM Project Manager, Tony Matthews.
